All time fave local designers in New Zealand

"The new Karen Walker store in Britomart’s Pavilions is my favourite of the internationally loved Kiwi designer’s stores. The staff are absolutely wonderful, whilst the winter collection in store now makes my credit card tremble with good reason. I especially love the warm winter coats and party frock options, and she even has some perfectly designed wooly hats and scarves for when the mercury really drops. Retail heaven."

"When I go on the hunt for ‘that’ dress or ‘those’ pants (the females out there will know what I mean) one of the first places I look is TK Store on Brown Street. They constantly have new drops coming in of beautiful basics in unique fabrics and super flattering cuts, and their selection of imports is always gorgeous too. Oh, and they have some of the friendliest and most patient retail staff in town - bonus!"

"I love pretty much each and every collection by Zambesi that has ever come out - to say I’m a bit of a fan would be putting it mildly. I particularly love the care that has been put into every one of their garments, and the way they can be worn multiple ways and truly made your own. Their Newmarket and Britomart stores are my favourites, the staff are the best and the mirrors are forgiving!"
